Ingredients
Scale
For Peeps Infused Vodka
- 4 Yellow Bunny Peeps marshmallow candies
- 3/4 cup Whipped Vodka (6 ounces)
For the Cocktail
- 1/2 cup Lemon Liquor (4 ounces)
- 3/4 cup Sweet and Sour mix (6 ounces)
- Peeps marshmallow candies for garnish
- Sugar sprinkles for rimming the glasses
Instructions
- Infuse the Vodka: Place the 4 Yellow Bunny Peeps marshmallows into a 12-ounce Mason jar. Pour 3/4 cup (6 ounces) of whipped vodka over the Peeps.
- Steep the Mixture: Screw on the jar lid tightly and refrigerate for 24 hours. Shake the jar vigorously 4 to 6 times throughout the day to help dissolve the Peeps into the vodka.
- Strain the Infused Vodka: After 24 hours, strain the Peeps vodka through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove any remaining bits of marshmallow. Pour the strained Peeps vodka into a glass pitcher.
- Mix the Cocktail: Add 1/2 cup (4 ounces) lemon liquor and 3/4 cup (6 ounces) sweet and sour mix to the Peeps vodka in the pitcher. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
- Prepare the Glasses: Rim martini glasses with sugar sprinkles by moistening the rim and dipping it into the sugar.
- Serve: Pour the Peeps martini cocktail into the prepared glasses. Garnish each with a Peeps marshmallow candy. Enjoy your festive Easter Peeps Martini!
Notes
- Use a 12-ounce Mason jar to allow enough room for shaking the infusion.
- Shaking the vodka infusion multiple times ensures better flavor extraction from the Peeps.
- If Peeps bits remain after straining, use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth for a clearer liquor.
- The cocktail is best served chilled immediately after preparing.
- You can use Peeps of any color for a different visual twist.
